In a dramatic beginning to Match 55 of IPL 2025 between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, SRH captain Pat Cummins hit gold with the first delivery. Karun Nair of DC was dismissed on the first ball, caught behind by wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan after he edged a sharp outswinger from Cummins.

This initial success paved the way for SRH's dominance. Cummins persisted with his blazing spell by getting rid of Faf du Plessis and Abishek Porel, leaving DC in disarray at 19/3 inside the first five overs. Cummins' outstanding bowling not only shattered DC's strongest order but also created a milestone, as he became the first IPL skipper to claim three wickets during an innings' powerplay.​

 Karun Nair's fall contributes to his recent run of poor performance in the tournament. Although his season started with promise, his form has taken a hit, with this golden duck being just another example of his continued issues at the crease.​
